A
good project manager knows to not begin
The
subsequent phase of development
Until the preceding phase has been completed
Reviewed and approved
Restrain your impatience
This is a massive undertaking
The
creation of your planet!
Restrain your impatience
And
complete each phase thoroughly
And
to you and to your Lord’s satisfaction
Before beginning the next
Restrain your impatience
And
remain yet in this your Requirements Phase
Remain until each and every single requirement
Has
been articulated
You
may then move on
To
your 2nd step of the Requirements Phase
Which will be your review of your requirements
Organizing them
Distilling them
Bringing them together into a cohesive whole
And
then of course there will be
The
3rd step of the Requirements Phase
For
there are always 3 steps
And
that is to present your Requirements
To
the Godhead and to the Divine Brotherhood
For
our review and approval
Step by step by step
Shall you create Terra!
Restrain your impatience
And
complete this very first of steps
Brainstorming your requirements
Complete it in full
Complete it until you are brainstormed out
You
will know when you are done
You
will know
You
will then take a rest, a breather, a time out
A
time away
To
refresh yourself
To
gain a broader perspective
And
then refreshed and renewed
You
shall return to this project
And
review the requirements you have collected
And
at that point evaluate them
Each of them singly
Each of them as they fit into the whole
You
will group the requirements into a logical order
You
will remove the redundancies
You
may find that you will even choose to drop
A
requirement or two or three
Realizing that in fact and in truth
They are not in the best interests of Terra! and her
children
You
will thus organize and document your requirements
And
when you perceive that you have taken your document
As
far as you can take it
Your document is complete and represents your thoughts
And
your desires fully and clearly
You
will then present this
Your Terra Requirements Document
To
your Executive Staff
Which is me your God and Father
Mary the Queen of Heaven
The
Great Lord Jesus Christ
The
Divine Brotherhood
And
the Great Archangel Michael
We
shall review your document closely
And
will note our comments upon it
And
return the document to you
For
your revision and updates
And
thus this process, our review and revision
And
your review of our notes and your updates
Will repeat
And
will repeat
And
will repeat
Until you are fully satisfied
Until we are fully satisfied
And
at that point
We
shall bless the Terra Requirements Document
And
at that point
Most of you shall be relieved of this your assignment
And
we the Executive Staff shall appoint a new team
To
take our blessed Requirements Document
And
from it
Begin their proposed Design of Terra
And
thus the 2nd phase, the Design Phase of Terra
Shall commence
And
it shall proceed in a similar, though not identical
fashion
To
your Requirements Phase
First the brainstorming of ideas
Then the evaluation of those ideas
The
organizing and distilling them
The
presentation of them to the Executive Staff
For
their review
The
iterations of revisions and updates
Until finally, finally, we have a Design Document
Which satisfies all, which pleases all
And
we shall bless this Design Document
And
again, most of the members of the Design Team
Will be relieved of their duties
And
we shall assemble a new team
To
perform the actual build of Terra
A
team that will participate in and assist in
The
birthing of Terra!
Restrain your impatience
Take your time
Brainstorm
Allow each of you to provide input
At
least once, at least twice, at least thrice
Brainstorm until you are completely satisfied
That all possible requirements have been listed
And
then, as I have told you
Take a break
Take a vacation
Away from the project
Away from each other
And
then return, refreshed and renewed
To
begin your 2nd step
Of
reviewing and distilling and organizing
Your requirements
Restrain your impatience
What you are now doing
What you are now in the process of co-creating
Will last for age upon age
Dream well
Brainstorm fully
Do
not be afraid of redundancy
For
each instance will have its own slant
Its
own variation of that theme
Restrain your impatience
Do
your task in patience, in calmness, with purpose
And
with focus
Do
it well
Do
it fully
Do
it to your complete and total satisfaction
Take your time
And
do right by Terra
Take your time
Give Terra your all
And
do right for the children of Terra
For
all the generations of Terrans you are working
Take your time
And
perform your task to the best, the very best
Of
your abilities
I
am patient my children
Do
not fear that you are boring me with your requests
Speak your Truth
Tell me all that is on your heart and mind
I
want to know
I
your God and Father
Want to know what my children think and feel and desire
Tell me your Truth
Please, above all, please
Do
not say what you think I want to hear!
Please do not insult me so!
Please be honest
Please be sincere
And
please give this so very important Requirements Phase
The
foundation upon which all subsequent phases will build
Please give your task
The
creation of the Terra Requirements Document
The
attention and the thought it deserves
I
am waiting for you my children
Heaven itself is waiting for you my children
Restrain your impatience
And
give your task
The
time, the attention, the careful thought and planning
The
attention to detail, the look at the overview
Give your task your all
Your best, your all
And
only when you are completely satisfied
Do
you then consider this first step – the brainstorming
Of
this first phase – the Requirements
Of
this project – the Creation and Birth of Terra herself!
Only when you are completely satisfied
And
completely talked out
Do
you consider this 1st step complete
I
love you my children
Take your time my children
Remember my children
The
work you are now doing
Will last for ages upon ages
Perform your task well
Adieu!
